Snorkeling and Scuba Diving Incident Report Form Indiana University Diving Safety Program ACADEMIC DIVING MANUAL June 2018 Revised Edition Indiana University Academic Diving Manual Revised June 2018 FOREWARD Indiana University is actively committed to preserving the health and safety of its students, employees, and visitors and to protecting the environment in which they participate in snorkeling and scuba diving activities. It is the responsibility of the Diving Control Board and University Environmental Health and Safety to direct and ensure that all snorkeling and scuba diving activities that occur in association with Indiana University are conducted in a manner designed to minimize accidental injury and illness. This direction occurs through the Diving Safety Program, housed within University Environmental Health and Safety. This manual - the Indiana University Academic Diving Manual - is written to formalize snorkeling and scuba diving standards and procedures as they relate to University activities. The standards and procedures are based on accepted scientific, recreational, and commercial diving standards, as applied to institutional diving programs, and is the result of six revisions of standards and policy by the Indiana University Diving Control Board. This manual describes Indiana University’s general diving policy, diving regulations, certification criteria, equipment requirements, medical standards, and emergency procedures to assure diver safety under appropriate diving conditions. Major institutional diving programs manuals were used as models for this manual. These included, but are not limited to the following organizations: Smithsonian Institute, Johns Hopkins University, University of California Santa Cruz, American Academy of Underwater Sciences, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Florida State University, University of Michigan, Buffalo State College, and United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This manual is not copyrighted. Institutions are encouraged to review this manual for application to their specific institutional diving requirements. ii Indiana University Academic Diving Manual Revised June 2018 TABLE OF CONTENTS

  • Supervised Dive
    EFFECTIVE 1 March 2009 MINIMUM COURSE CONTENT FOR Supervised Diver Certifi cation As Approved By ©2009, Recreational Scuba Training Council, Inc. (RSTC) Recreational Scuba Training Council, Inc. RSTC Coordinator P.O. Box 11083 Jacksonville, FL 32239 USA Recreational Scuba Training Council (RSTC) Minimum Course Content for Supervised Diver Certifi cation 1. Scope and Purpose This standard provides minimum course content requirements for instruction leading to super- vised diver certifi cation in recreational diving with scuba (self-contained underwater breathing appa- ratus). The intent of the standard is to prepare a non diver to the point that he can enjoy scuba diving in open water under controlled conditions—that is, under the supervision of a diving professional (instructor or certifi ed assistant – see defi nitions) and to a limited depth. These requirements do not defi ne full, autonomous certifi cation and should not be confused with Open Water Scuba Certifi cation. (See Recreational Scuba Training Council Minimum Course Content for Open Water Scuba Certifi ca- tion.) The Supervised Diver Certifi cation Standards are a subset of the Open Water Scuba Certifi cation standards. Moreover, as part of the supervised diver course content, supervised divers are informed of the limitations of the certifi cation and urged to continue their training to obtain open water diver certifi - cation. Within the scope of supervised diver training, the requirements of this standard are meant to be com- prehensive, but general in nature. That is, the standard presents all the subject areas essential for su- pervised diver certifi cation, but it does not give a detailed listing of the skills and information encom- passed by each area.
